Clare Burson - Idaho

Tomorrow morning, at an ungodly hour, my family and I will head for the airport to fly out to Idaho, a place I've never been, for a wedding of a childhood friend of mine. I have heard from various sources that Sun Valley, Idaho is one of the most beautiful places in the country, so this should not be any sort of hardship for us, to say the least. I am just excited to have an excuse to go to Idaho, as I am not sure when else I will ever get one.

What better time, than the night before I depart for Idaho, to talk about Clare Burson, since her latest release is an EP called "Idaho". Though there's no track of the same title on the release, the five tracks are lovely, simple, country-tinged songs complimented by Clare's rich and clear voice. She's definitely worth a listen, and if you like what you hear, she offers plenty more on her site, and her next release, a full-length entitled "Thieves" is due out in August.
